Trade Recommendation: Decentraland

Trade Recommendation: Decentraland

The Decentraland/Bitcoin pair (MANA/BTC) took out resistance of 1,230 satoshis on November 8, 2018. This triggered the breakout from the inverse head and shoulders reversal pattern on the 4-hour chart. The breakout looked strong as well. On that day, MANA/BTC generated volume that’s over 430% of its daily average. This sparked a rally to 1,462 satoshis on the same day.

Before November 8 closed, however, MANA/BTC started to show signs of weakness. It started to print a long wick on top of the 4-hour candle’s body. On top of that, the RSI was in extreme overbought territory. Also, it created a double top at resistance of 77 RSI. These are very good signals to start locking gains and that’s what we’re saw a few hours ago. Nevertheless, there may be a good chance to buy when MANA dips again.

Technical analysis shows that MANA/BTC is looking retest support of 1,230 satoshis. This pullback should give technical indicators time to cool off. More importantly, it helps the market create a new base of buyers. The new batch of bulls will be instrumental in the pair’s uptrend.

But first, MANA/BTC must complete the retest or else the breakout is not validated. We believe that bulls will be successful for a couple of reasons. First, 1,230 satoshis used to be a strong resistance. It was so strong that bulls needed seven attempts in three months to breach the resistance. Now that they’ve broken through, the firm resistance is flipped into durable support.

Second, we have the 21-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages crawling below the 4H candles. They will stand as additional supports to help keep the market above 1,230 satoshis.

The strategy is to buy the dip as close to 1,230 satoshis as possible. If MANA/BTC completes the retest, it will likely to launch a rally to our targets of 1,500 satoshis first and then 2,000 satoshis.

The process may take more than a month.

Trade Recommendation: Cardano

Cardano (ADA/USD) is a market that looks ready to flex its muscles. The market appears to have established a bear market low of $0.025601 on December 7, 2018. At that point, Cardano was showing signs of reversal. The daily candle on that day had a long wick below its body to show the presence of buyers. Also, the daily RSI was flashing a bullish divergence as the market traded in oversold territory.

Under these conditions, Cardano generated a strong rally. It climbed as high as $0.074 on January 8, 2019. Although the market has been pulling back since, this gives us a chance to buy the dip.

Technical analysis shows that ADA/USD is creating a bullish higher low setup of $0.042. This price area used to be Cardano’s immediate resistance as the market struggled to breach this level from January 27 to February 17, 2019. On February 18, the market took out this resistance with heavy volume. We believe that Cardano’s next move is to flip this resistance into support.

In addition, the rally on February 18 coincided with a golden cross on the daily chart. On that day, the 50-day moving average crossed above the 100-day moving average. This is a signal that the market is turning bullish.

The strategy is to buy as close to $0.042 as possible. If bulls can stay above this level, they will likely generate a rally to our targets of $0.0535 and $0.067.

The process may take less than a month.

Trade Recommendation: Waves

One of the most important things that has kept our losses minimal during this bear market is that we never allow the fear of missing out influence our trading decisions. When we see an altcoin that we have no positions in rally, we do not immediately jump on the bandwagon. That’s how a lot of new retail traders lose their capital. Instead, we wait for a significant pullback and signs of consolidation. This is exactly our approach to trading Waves (WAVES/BTC).

Waves was among the first to decouple from Bitcoin’s trend. From the low of 0.0002336 on November 21, 2018, it skyrocketed to as high as 0.001209 on December 19. That’s an increase of over 400% in less than a month. From that point, the market has been correcting. After two months of consolidation, we’re convinced that Waves is due for a rally.

Technical analysis reveal that Waves/Bitcoin is trying to carve a short-term bottom of 0.0007. This view comes after the market refused to breach this level after four attempts in less than two months. While others may argue that the support is now weak due to multiple touches, we believe that this is a case of accumulation rather than demand drying out. Volume supports this assumption.

First, we can see that volume has significantly decreased since December 19, 2018. This tells us that sellers are losing ammunition. Also, volume is thin whenever Waves touches support of 0.0007. This indicates that many participants are not interested in selling at these levels. Thus, it is likely that the market maker attempts to keep the price low and shake out as many participants as possible.

The strategy is to buy as close to 0.0007 support as possible. If bulls continue to preserve the support, they will likely attract the momentum they need to move to our targets of 0.00087 and 0.001047.

The process may take less than a month.

Trade Recommendation: Stellar

We removed Stellar (XLM/BTC) from our watch list when it failed to hold 0.000026 on January 28, 2019. At that point, we knew that a move below this level will likely result in panic selling. That’s because 0.000026 stood as the market’s 2018 support. Stellar has managed to stay above this level for the whole of 2018. Thus, the move below it on January 28, 2019 ignited massive selling.

To stop the bleeding, Stellar needed to generate heavy volume on the daily chart. This would indicate that a big buyer has stepped in to absorb the selling pressure. We suspect that this happened yesterday, February 19.

Technical analysis shows that XLM/BTC is attempting to carve a durable support at 0.000021. This view comes after Stellar printed heavy volume yesterday when the market touched 0.000021. On February 19, the volume skyrocketed to 142.652 million XLM units when the daily trading average was about 60.614 million XLM units. The last time Stellar generated this type of volume was five months ago. This was an indication that a large player has stepped in.

In addition, XLM is trading near oversold conditions. With the market being so badly beaten over the last couple of months, it is due for a relief rally at the very least.

The strategy is to buy as close to 0.000021 as possible. If bulls can stay above this level, they will likely generate a rally to our targets of 0.000026 and 0.00003.

The process may take a month.
